Theorizing Managerial Work: a Pragmatic Pluralist Approach to Interdisciplinary Research
提出实用多元主义策略,确保从不同社会科学学科中汲取的概念能整合成连贯视角,并以作者对管理工作的民族志研究为例说明。
Management research is especially open to the benefits of using insights from a variety of social science disciplines but it should not use these indiscriminately. A strategy of pragmatic pluralism is proposed as a way of ensuring that concepts taken from different social science paradigms or disciplines are drawn together into a single coherent perspective to shape the particular study to which they relate. This is illustrated with reference to an ethnographic study of managerial work carried out by the author.
